This video from Forgotten Weapons explores the Star Z45, a Spanish submachine gun heavily inspired by the German MP40. Designed during WWII for export and domestic use, the Z45 incorporated improvements like a progressive trigger and detachable barrel while retaining the MP40's stock and disassembly method. Though it didn't see sales to Germany, it was adopted by Spanish forces and exported in various calibers including 9mm Largo, 9mm Parabellum, .38 ACP, and .45 ACP. Production continued into the early 1960s before being succeeded by the Z62. The video thanks Movie Armaments Group for providing the example.
